The Cancer Fund Run was initially started by Guardians co-founder Danny “Preacher Man” James.

In a country that seems to be split about 50-50 on everything from politics to the importance of reality television, there does seem to be one place of agreement: what should be on the table for Thanksgiving Dinner.
Think about it. There are very few things that we do like we did 400 years ago. Somewhere along the line, it is not inconceivable that lasagna, General Tso’s chicken, fajita nachos or ribeyes could have overtaken the turkey.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. I love to eat and I love to be with my family so being able to combine the two is truly awesome!
What I love most about Thanksgiving is the fact that it’s all about being thankful. We should be thankful everyday for things in our life but Thanksgiving gives us a chance to sit down and reflect on just how fortunate we are.

I expect the County Commissioners and the county administration to use my tax dollars wisely in support of county operations.
